Ziafar My suggestion would be to change the monitor's resolution (Windows Settings > System > Display), restart your computer, and change it back. And if that doesn't help, to change the DPI scalings, both system and user, to 96 (100%), and restart again. Sometimes the system does show strange behavior like this the first time a new driver is installed but then fixes itself after a restart, or after you force it to recalibrate for new settings.
Still, the underlying issue may be Windows 7, and the only fix (other than upgrading to 10) may be to play in DirectX 9 mode, which you should be able to do with the older driver. So this could be a project you come back to when you have some free time.
You know you were right. my change to directX9 had desappeared. I made the change again and the game runs fine. But I will keep in mind your suggestion about the the driver and the monitor resolution. Where do you change the DPI scalings?
